Robson Green: Extreme Fisherman
Season 1
In a brand new series for Quest, Robson Green takes fishing to a different level. He travels to the most remote fishing locations on the planet on a mission to catch the biggest, the most aggressive, and the most unusual fish to be found in the world's rivers, lakes and oceans. He tests his skills to the limit in eight unique locations: from the jungles of the Americas to the Mongolian steppe; from typhoon-lashed archipelagos to the baking heat of the Indian Ocean. As well as using his own angling ability, Robson immerses himself in the techniques of the fishermen and women he tracks down. He meets the anglers with tales to tell and new techniques to try. He learns the ways of tribes, nomads and shamen, adopting ancient and unusual methods to succeed in his mission: to outwit the most astonishing fish in the world.
